Lil Wayne skips Cash Money Records reunion at Essence Fest

On Friday night, New Orleans buzzed with excitement as Lil Wayne took the stage at Essence Fest. The hometown hero performed a selection of his timeless hits, delighting fans with his brief yet powerful 20-minute set that began at 1:30am. However, the night took an unexpected turn when Wayne opted out of Birdman’s highly anticipated Cash Money Records reunion set, sparking widespread disappointment and speculation.

The reunion, featuring Cash Money legends BG and Juvenile, was missing two key figures: Lil Wayne and Turk. Rumors quickly spread that Wayne refused to participate without Turk, hinting at unresolved tensions. Birdman appeared to take subliminal shots at Wayne, by saying he would “never let his city down and “be a p*ssy ass n****” for anybody.

Many attendees felt the reunion fell short without Wayne, dampening the nostalgic vibe that fans had eagerly anticipated. Social media buzzed with mixed reactions, with many expressing their disappointment in what could have been a historic moment for Cash Money Records.

Despite the speculation, Lil Wayne’s solo performance was a highlight of the night, showcasing his enduring appeal and solidifying his legendary status. The absence of a full Cash Money reunion, however, left a void that fans felt deeply, as they had hoped for a complete celebration of the iconic label’s legacy.
